The paper identifies a hydrolysis operon in Lachnospiraceae that enables castalagin metabolism to urolithins and flavogallonic acid in the human gut microbiome using multi-omics analysis of fecal samples from a clinical trial.

This study shows that differences in gut microbiota between two mouse vendors affect susceptibility to C. difficile infection, and cohousing can transfer resistance.

This study identifies a novel urolithin dehydroxylase operon in Enterocloster species and shows its regulation by 9-hydroxy urolithins.

The paper identifies Enterocloster spp. and the ucd operon as key producers of urolithin A from dietary ellagitannins using multi-omics approaches.

The paper identifies novel Blautia species as fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) consumers using pulse metatranscriptomics in a human stool sample.
